Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

Question

O: On a two-lane two-way highway, a car A was following a truck B and both were travelling at a speed
of 40 kmph. While looking for an opportunity to overtake the truck, the driver of a car a saw another
car C coming from the opposite direction. a that moment, the distance betwen A and C was 450 m.
After an initial hesitation period of 2 seconds, the driver of car A started the overtaking operation. The
distance between A and B at the instant was 30 m. A overtook B by accelerating at a uniform rate
of 1.20 ms 2. When the overtaking operation was completed, there was a distance of 25 m between
B and A. Determine the distance between different vehicles given as measured from the front bumber
of the one vehicle to the front bumber of the another vehicle. Design speed of the highway is 80 kmph.

Traffic on a freeway gives a Greenshield's traffic flow relationship expressed as: Q = 60k-0.16667k? At 10AM, an accident occurs 4 km downstream of an access ramp. The vehicles pull onto the shoulder of the roadway, but traffic passing the accident area slows to 10 kph as drivers survey the damage on the side of the road. A patrol car enters the freeway via access ramp, also at 10AM. Upon entering the freeway, the patrol car notes that traffic on the freeway is moving along at about 40 kph. Determine the following: 1. Capacity flow of the highway 2. Traffic shockwave created by the road accident 3. Time in AM the patrol car will reach the accident zone 4.

1. An equation has been calibrated for the amount of time (in seconds) required to clear N vehicles through a given signal phase (N>5): T= 2.04 +2.35N a. What start-up lost time does this equation suggest? b. What saturation headway and saturation flow rate are implied by the equation? 2 The saturation flow rate for an intersection approach is 3600 veh/h. At the beginning of a cycle (effective red) no vehicles are queued. The signal is timed so that when the queue (from the continuously arriving vehicles) is 13 vehicles long, the effective green begins. If the queue dissipates 8 seconds before the end of the cycle and the cycle length is 60 seconds, what is the arrival rate, assuming D/D/1 queuing? 3 An intersection has a four-phase signal with the movements allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in The table below Calculate the sum of the flow ratios for the critical lane groups.
